It's a Mean World Songtext
von B.B. King

This is a mean old world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
Yes, you can′t get the woman you love
And you have to put up with somebody else


Babe, I smile to keep from worryin'
And I laugh just to keep from cryin′
Oh, I smile to keep from worryin'
Babe, and I laugh to keep from cryin'
Well, that′s to keep the public from knowing
Oh, what I′ve got on my mind

Yes, someday, baby
Yes, when the blood run cold in my veins
Yes, someday, baby
Baby, when the blood run cold in my veins
Well, I won't be around for you to mistreat me then, baby
′Cause my heart won't feel no pain
